My, how quickly they change.

So, Jake is already a week and half old. He's growing and changing like crazy. Already the time is going too fast. Yeah, we probably hold him too much according to some. We probably sit and stare into his little face way too much. But he's already a week and a half! He has already changed so much and is so much more alert. So we're savoring it. We'll continue to hold him "too much". We'll continue to stare at his sweet, ever changing little face and kissing his chubby little cheeks. Because it won't be long before this sweet stage is over.

Here is yet another set of pictures. See for yourself how our little man has changed.

WOW....what beautiful babies!!! Max and A.K. are adorable holding their baby brother. Jake looks so healthy and I know you are all having fun "holding" and just "watching" him grow. Can't wait to see you all and to hold Jake in my arms. The pictures are wonderful...thanks for sharing them with us.

Love you,
Sandra

Your kids are all gorgeous and Jake is looking more like Chad now!! It's so fun to see how quickly they change, but like you said the time goes sooooo fast so you have to cherish every moment. Malia is sitting with me and she says she wants me to tell you that she wants to give Baby Jake a little tiny hug and a little tiny kiss and big giant ones for all the other people in the family and she loves you all with her whole heart and misses you cause she hasn't seen you for such a long, long time :) Lucas just says Baby Cake 'gin peez. And Stormie can't wait to meet you guys (she feels like she already knows you since we have told her so much) and she especially can't wait to talk to Max (she is fluent in Sign Language)!! We love you guys!!

As wonderful is Jake is, I have to agree with Diana about how similar Anna Kate & Max look these days. Thanks for occupying my "smoke break" at work today with your sweet family. Maybe we'll get to see you at Christmas...

Beautiful family! Let's have a post-preggie pic of you now. AND you are welcome to come to any Ladies' Night Out we have! My favorite is card-making night. Those ladies are so creative! Love you, sis!

Hi Gerlt Family!
It's been a long time, but I still keep up with you guys on this delightful blog! I'm so excited to see Jake after so many months, and what a joy it is that his big brother and sister are such great helpers! You are all in my thoughts and prayers!
